Real Madrid Confidencial Vinicius, reported by Valencia over Netflix documentary: Official statement
Valencia has filed a complaint against the production company, considering that the documentary projects a distorted image of what happened
Valencia CF has issued an official statement following the release of the Netflix documentary starring Vinicius Junior. In the content, reference is made to the Mestalla episode, where the Brazilian suffered racist insults during a match in last season's LaLiga.
The Valencian club considers that the documentary presents a "false" version of what happened. According to the statement, a written demand for a correction has been made to the production company responsible for the content. From Mestalla, they assert that the events do not align with reality.
Valencia demands respect for its fans
"Valencia CF has demanded an immediate correction," the club states. In their writing, they emphasize that the images and statements in the documentary do not accurately reflect what occurred at Mestalla. For the club, it is an injustice toward their fans.
In the official text published on their channels, Valencia assures that they will defend their image and that of their supporters. They believe that the club's name has been damaged and a behavior that doesn't represent the entire crowd has been generalized.
"Truth and respect for our fans must prevail," the statement reiterates. The club has also reserved the right to take legal action if the version offered in the series is not publicly corrected.
Vinicius and Netflix in the spotlight
In the documentary, Vinicius speaks openly about what happened at Mestalla. The images in the episode reinforce the player's stance, who has repeatedly denounced episodes of racism in various stadiums in Spain, with Valencia being one of the most publicized.
This complaint from Valencia is not directed against the player directly, but against the production company. However, Vinicius's name appears at the center of the controversy for being the main figure in the documentary.
The confrontation between club and player is reignited with this situation. The relationship between both parties has remained tense since the incident at Mestalla, and this new chapter further complicates the atmosphere.
For now, neither Vinicius nor Netflix have issued a public response to Valencia's statement. The club expects a quick and official correction. The controversy is served.
